Since you want to find a photograph, the best thing to do is to use the Search All Member Trees for not only their names, but also for those of their siblings (if any)
Photos were often given to the extended family who may have kept and passed them on.

well thanks for all the info it was very interesting I am having some trouble getting around this site am now trying to find out how i can print all this info

There isn't a Print button on the GR community pages. There should be one at the top of the screen on your computer. It could be in one of the drop down lists.

You could always open a word doc, highlight the text from here, then copy & paste onto that.

In case you weren't aware, anything shown in blue on the thread is a hyperlink to elsewhere on the internet. They are safe to click on. The new page will open in another tab.

Welcome to the boards Frank.
